Sydney Ideas - A matter of life and tech

In an age of AI, how can tech help us become better at being human?

For centuries, the humanities and technology have existed alongside and augmented each other. If we dive into their shared story, we can learn valuable lessons about how to both embrace our humanity and engage with new technology, so we don't get trapped in ‘either/or’ thinking. By exploring how our human intelligence works, humanities can also make artificial intelligence less daunting and more meaningful.

In this special event, your storytellers will be Sophie Gee, Sandra Peter, and Kai Riemer. They’ll bring the evolving—and sometimes contentious—relationship between the human spirit and machine intelligence to life in various vivid ways. 

Join us as we share a story 600-years in the making that will surprise, inspire, and help you thrive IRL in our tech-inflected future.
